SUMMARY:Resistance | ചെറുത്തുനില്പ് - South Indian Dance production
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe show brings South Indian Traditional Dance to the Forefront of Protest and Performance in Australian Premiere.  \nPowerful solo dance theatre work challenges gendered violence through ancient form and contemporary storytelling.  \nAcclaimed dancer and choreographer Swaroopa Prameela Unni makes her Australian\nmainstage debut with Resistance | ചെറുത്തുനില്പ്\, an interdisciplinary solo\nperformance running at The Blue Room Theatre from 8–11 October 2025. Earlier this year\,\nSwaroopa was awarded a choreographic residency through the Arts and Culture Trust\,\nwhich played a crucial role in the development of Resistance. \nFusing the traditional South Indian dance form of Mohiniyattam with spoken word\, digital\nmedia\, and original music\, Resistance confronts systems of power and gendered violence\nthrough a deeply personal\, culturally grounded lens. This is the first time Mohiniyattam — a\nform often associated with idealised femininity — has been presented in this way on a West\nAustralian stage. \n“Mohiniyattam is often seen as a celebration of idealised femininity—soft\, delicate\,\nobedient\,” says Unni. “Perth audiences don’t often get to witness traditional Indian forms\nlike Mohiniyattam being used in this way: not to preserve an ideal\, but to challenge it.”\nDrawing from both personal experience and broader social issues\, Resistance contributes a\nvital and often absent perspective in national conversations around gender equality\,\nparticularly as they relate to migrant and culturally diverse communities in Australia.\n“My hope is that audiences leave with a deeper awareness of how gendered violence can be\nembedded not only in systems\, but in the most intimate parts of culture—and how art can\nbe a powerful way of pushing back\,” says Unni. \nAbout the Artist \nSwaroopa Prameela Unni is a Bharatanatyam and Mohiniyattam dancer\, choreographer and\neducator who relocated to Boorloo/Perth in 2024 from Aotearoa/New Zealand. Since her\narrival\, she has presented work at Subiaco Arts Centre\, Scratch Night – Perth Festival 2025\, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2025\, The Blue Room Theatre Season and more. She is also a recipient of the Arts and Culture Trust choreographic residency and Make A Start 2025\nresidency at Lucy Guerin Inc. \nUnni’s practice has spanned Aotearoa and India over more than a decade. She is the\nfounder of Natyaloka School of Indian Dance (Ōtepoti/Dunedin)\, and her choreographic\nworks often explore feminist narratives\, identity\, and belonging through Indian classical\nforms. Resistance | ചെറുത്തുനില്പ് was first premiered in 2019 in Aotearoa and is her\nmost personal work to date. \nGET TICKETS HERE: https://blueroom.org.au/events/resistance/

SUMMARY:Come Eat With Me కమ్ ఈట్ విత్ మీ
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n‘Come Eat With Me’ is an interdisciplinary theatre performance exploring the layered relationship between caste and food\, culminating in a shared meal. \nThrough Dalit stories\, histories and everyday resistance\, ‘Come Eat With Me’ invites you on a sensory and emotional journey that unpacks themes of oppression and solidarity\, grief and joy and the resilience of Oppressed Caste communities. \nIntimate and participatory\, ‘Come Eat With Me’ is rooted in lived experience and collective memory. The performance transforms the act of inter and intra-communal eating – a practice often shaped by caste hierarchies – into a space for reflection\, connection and community building. \nConcluding with a shared meal\, this powerful and immersive experience reveals how culinary traditions can carry both historical trauma and the quiet triumphs of survival and resistance. \nShow Duration: 90 minutes\, followed by dinner \nDinner Menu:\nChicken Curry\nAndhra Style Lentil Soup (Vegan)\nWhite Steamed Rice \nDietary Requirements:\nIf you have any food allergies or any special dietary requirements\, please advise when purchasing your ticket. \nSeating:\nFloor and chair seating \nAccessibility:\nPlease let us know of any accessibility requirements when purchasing your ticket. \nWarnings: \nThemes of death\, murder\, discrimination and physical\, emotional and social violence. Lights change colours and intensity. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the artist \nSri Vamsi Matta\, or simply Vamsi\, is a Bangalore-based interdisciplinary theatre artist whose work is deeply informed by his Dalit identity\, experiences\, and the socio-political context of his location. As a member of a community historically marginalized and labeled “untouchable” within the Hindu caste system\, Vamsi critically engages with oppressive structures and narratives affecting his community.  \nHis recent work includes ‘Star in the Sky’\, a play that poignantly captures the struggles and resilience of Dalit students in Indian universities\, exploring themes of pain\, identity\, and systemic discrimination. Developed under Indian Ensemble’s Idea Development Lab-First Draft program\, the play was a runner-up for the Tata Lit Fest’s Sultan Padamsee Playwriting Award. The play opened on 26th April\, 2025  \nVamsi co-founded OffStream\, a Bangalore based arts collective supporting artists with an anti-caste lens\, and building community around anti-caste histories and imaginations. He also co-founded Perishable Goods Collective\, a transdisciplinary artist collective using food and art to challenge caste oppression and reclaim marginalized cultural narratives.  \nGET TICKETS HERE: https://c-a-c.com.au/come-eat-with-me/

SUMMARY:Daytime Deewane at Riverside Theatre
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n1997. London. A daytime nightclub. \n\n\nMeet cousins Farhan and Sadiq. One quiet\, one wild\, both looking to escape. \nSet in the legendary daytime raves of the 1990s\, Daytime Deewane is a tender portrait of what it means to be torn between respect and rebellion. As the dance floor fills and the afternoon unfolds\, Farhan is still clutching his school bag and how Sadiq got that Motorola flip phone is a mystery only he can solve. \nThe two young ravers open their hearts and stomp their feet as they try to figure out how to shake off their ancestral shame and be a good Muslim boy and a proper British man – and they’ve got until 6pm to figure it out. \nThis exhilarating play by award-winning UK writer Azan Ahmed is a tour-de-force of theatrical storytelling. Mixing spoken word and Bhangra fused dance music to create an immersive world that pulls audiences out of their seats and into the crowd for “one more tune” and a true taste of freedom. \nContent warning: As part of depicting the experience of British South Asians in the 1990s\, at times characters in the play referred to language which is racially offensive. \n\nGET YOUR TICKETS HERE
